This is an amazing resource! It profiles myths from many cultures, sprinkling photos and illustrations throughout. It is encyclopedic in nature and style, but makes a pleasant book to read by the fire on a chilly winter's night.

The art is amazing. I love Pre-Raphaelite and related art and this book has plenty. ( )

This is a great book to use when one needs to quickly look up a mythological figure or event that occurred in ancient times. Everything from ancient Rome to acient Egypt, this book has it all! ( )
